GIVEAWAY: Cookbook and Help Our Troops

Have you ever taken a moment stop to think about really what goes in to creating that loaf of bread or yummy bagel you enjoy? The Wheat Foods Council has put together a fabulous interactive program to teach both kids and adults all about the behind the scenes work that goes into creating some of our favorite products.

During the interactive How Wheat Works learning experience you will get to grow your own wheat and watch it progress through the process all the way to the table in your home! You even get to select which type of wheat you will plant in your field. After you select your wheat, you will guide it through its “4 Day” journey of planting, growth, harvest, milling, baking and more!

My favorite part about the How Wheat Works experience is that by completing the program you will help give wheat to those in need. For each person who completes the program, the Wheat Foods Council will donate one pound of flour to Operation Homefront – a non-profit that provides emergency and morale assistance for U.S. troops and their families! They will donate up to 90,000 pounds of flour, which is about 2,143 bushels of wheat and it can be used to bake 1,440,000 blueberry muffins! Awesome!

The Wheat Foods Council has teamed up with Gale Gand, celebrity chef and mother of three, and parents just like you to create an educational cookbook entitled Food for Thought from Parents to Children. To celebrate their 35th anniversary, they included 35 nutritious and delicious wheat-based recipes that will help you teach your children about healthy food choices.

I’m also excited to tell you that the Wheat Foods Council has provided me with five of their 35th Anniversary Cookbooks to give away to the Bargain Blessings readers! Each reader has five options for entering this giveaway:
